    You’ve legitimately never tested something you built in production, after having already tested it in staging and local? You’ve just, had complete faith in staging production envir…

    I agree with you entirely except for if we skip the year over year part.5- Time of purchase upgrade ability, if we’re talking about getting to 128 or 256 GB of RAM. Time of purchas…
